Robert Irwin Reveals What He Thinks Late Dad Steve Irwin Would Think Of Him Doing ‘DWTS’

Robert Irwin is ballroom ready! The wildlife conservationist and his “Dancing with the Stars” pro partner Witney Carson join Access Daily’s Mario Lopez and Kit Hoover to share insight on their intense rehearsals and even show off a few moves. Robert reacts to a throwback photo of himself as a baby with late dad Steve Irwin and reveals what he believes the Australian icon would think of him doing the show. “I think he’d be stoked. He was the sort of person where he just never held back. He was passionate, enthusiastic about every single thing he did. And he loved life when he was just living on the edge and giving it 100. And that’s what this experience is,” Robert said. “I have the honor of continuing his legacy and my family’s legacy, and I never thought I’d get to do that by dancing, but here we are and I’m just so grateful for that.” Robert also thanks Witney for her guidance and shares how sister Bindi – a previous “DWTS” winner – has encouraged him so far this season as well. “Dancing with the Stars” airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on ABC and streams on Disney+.
